This is a really very good book to act as an introduction to Change Management in organisations。The book is the course text for the APMG Change Management Foundation and Practitioner course but I think the book is an excellent resource for those not undertaking the qualification and for those engaged in supporting change in organisations。Despite being 600 pages it serves as a good introduction to change management and points the reader in the right direction for further study but I do think that This is a really very good book to act as an introduction to Change Management in organisations。The book is the course text for the APMG Change Management Foundation and Practitioner course but I think the book is an excellent resource for those not undertaking the qualification and for those engaged in supporting change in organisations。Despite being 600 pages it serves as a good introduction to change management and points the reader in the right direction for further study but I do think that if those involved in change did a third of what is in this book well they would deliver really good work and increase value。The book covers all the key areas including understanding how organisations are designed， the psychological impact of change， planning， delivering and sustaining change， benefits management， communications and stakeholder management， management of risk and much more。The best thing I can say about this book is that I will use it again and again to support change work and also that the 'non-examinable' sections are well worth reading。I imagine a lot of readers would think 'how could we do all this in the time we have' and realistically this book does make it clear the risk and cost of not doing things but from a practical point of view I imagine there will be times I think， 'this isn't working' and I'll remember a tip or pointer from the book that may suggest an approach or gap。Where the book loses a star is more based on my own values。 The book spends a lot of time talking about people and values but it is very much rooted in the capitalist 'grow or die' and 'destroy your competitors' mindset。 Despite it's claims otherwise so many of the case studies revolve around making life worse for employees and just 'change managing them'。 I get that most people work in shit organisations with shitty values and many change professionals are involved with initiatives that tell a good story but are about extracting as much income for greedy shareholders with human value window dressed。 It seems this book is a generation behind what we consider value， particularly in regard to human learning systems， holocracy and the future of work。I did wince at the 'systems thinking' sections。 I get that they are an introduction but after reading I thought that what was presented would be VERY dangerous in the wrong hands。 I consider myself an enthusiastic novice where systems thinking is concerned but it really troubled me how feedback loops and virtuous circles were presented - it really didn't consider the complexity of trying to understand systems and was very 'cause and effect'。These criticisms aside it is a very good resource and I would recommend。 。。。more

This book introduced me to all the theory related to business change and transformation and completely shifted my vision about embedding change and engaging people。 I have always been interested in change on the individual level yet I found myself in change management almost by chance。 This book served as my introduction guide and I love it for it:）

The dynamics of change are far more complex and its impact more far reaching than most people think。 It takes more than just MOC codes and spreadsheets to change things。 It takes a innate sense of understanding what brings value and then finding a way to approach it from all dimensions from people to business。 Its both top down and bottom up and this book highlights that clearly。 People have got change all wrong for a long time。 This book is the best way to start。
